Career

edit

Marange began his career in 2002 with Bordeaux and was promoted to the first team in 2004. He made his first appearance against Paris Saint-Germain on 20 November 2005.

He was loaned out to Le Havre from Bordeaux on 8 January 2009[1] and returned on 1 July 2009.

On 16 August 2013, Marange signed a one-year deal with English side Crystal Palace, on a Bosman transfer.[2] He made his debut on 27 August, in a 2–1 defeat against Bristol City in the second round of the League Cup.[3] However, he was left out of Palace's 25-man Premier League squad and was described as 'slow' by manager Ian Holloway.[citation needed] He made only a few further appearances in friendly and reserve games for Palace before his contract was paid up in October.

In January 2014, Marange signed for Ligue 1 side Sochaux.[4]

Six months later, he signed a two-year contract with Bastia.[5]
